Hi folks. I'm currently running a 5.10 on the rear of an 84 XR350R. Should I stay with that size or for 20.00 less go for the 4.60. I'm fairley new to the scene so I need a little advice. Thanks for your time. And buy more Canadian wood I need to keep my job so I can buy more US products.Jim out.

If it's working well, and not rubbing against your swingarm or something, i'd stay with the 5.10.
Unless your pinching pennies and want to save a buck or 2 (no, its not a 1-800 collect comercial!!!) and go with the smaller tire.
My '82 500r says stock size is a 4.60, but i'd like to go with a 5.10.
Doesnt look like it'd fit on my bike though, as the 120 tire thats on it now is pretty close to rubbing the swingarm.:(

The 5.10 should fit fine. Maxxis makes a good 17" rear tire called the 6001 Intermediate. I recommend it and its fairly inexpensive and lasts okay.
